The Who have appealed directly to fans to go through their memorabilia for anything rare that could be included in their upcoming Who Hits 50 celebrations.
The band have already confirmed a tour to celebrate their 50th anniversary, and a new hits package due for release in October.
Now they have announced that they are looking for rare radio and TV performances, home movies from gigs, bootleg material, demos, unusual photos and memorabilia.
Tom Waits, as you probably know, is right about most things and amusingly duplicitous about most others. He is not, though, infallible. In October 1985, NME's Gavin Martin met Waits at a diner on New York's Lower West Side, for an interview squeezed in between Sunday babysitting duties and a visit from the in-laws.
Jack White's Lazaretto has become the biggest-selling vinyl album for 20 years.
The album, White's second solo album, was released in June and has since sold 60,000 vinyl copies, making it not just the biggest-selling vinyl album of the year, but the biggest-selling since Pearl Jam's Vitalogy was released in 1994. The 60,000 sales account for around a quarter of the album's total sales figure.
Johnny Depp features on a new album based on the 'lost' lyrics of Bob Dylan.
Lost On The River: The New Basement Tapes also features Marcus Mumford of Mumford & Sons, Elvis Costello and Jim James of My Morning Jacket as well as Rhiannon Giddens of Carolina Chocolate Drops and Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes on the T Bone Burnett produced record.
The Flaming Lips have revealed the full tracklisting and contributor list for their remake of The Beatles' album Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Set for release on October 28, With A Little Help From My Fwends, features a version of 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds' which sees guest appearances from Miley Cyrus and Moby. With the full tracklisting now released, appearances from J Mascis, MGMT and Tegan & Sara have also been confirmed.
The With A Little Help From My Fwends tracklisting is:
Jack White held an impromptu reunion of the Dead Weather during his solo show in Detroit, according to Billboard.
The show took place at the Masonic Temple Auditorium when Alison Mosshart and Dean Fertita joined White and his band on stage to play "I Cut LIke a Buffalo" from the group's 2009 debut album Horehound.
